The rumoured cabinet reshuffle is more than likely to occur soon, after Ewon Benedick quit as the entrepreneurship and cooperatives development minister over disagreements on Sabah's 40 percent revenue entitlement.

At the minimum, there will be two vacancies after Dec 2, when Investment, Trade, and Industry Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz's second and final term as senator expires.

UPDATED 10.10AM | Another three ministers will have their senator terms end on Dec 2 as well.
